This edition updates us on a recent legal case that has been important for international arbitration, as it is the common law test for apparent bias and highlights the weaknesses of the 2014 edition of the IBA Guidelines. Jeremy Glover poses the question of whether notice clauses are always fair and reasonable, Sana Mahmud discusses LCIA Costs and duration data and Philip Barnes looks at a recent case concerning the secretive nature of “offshore companies” and the opaque nature of the financial position of one BVI incorporated company that came before the English Court of Appeal.
